Anaptilora isocosma is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from the Northern Territory and Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is 13–14 mm (0.51–0.55 in). The forewings are white, with a moderate straight dark brown basal fascia and a broad slightly oblique straight ochreous-brown postmedian fascia. There is an ochreous-yellowish suffusion towards the apex and there are some cloudy dark fuscous dots around the apex and upper part of the termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[3]
